Reference should be had first to Figure 1.

in said figure, there is shown a blank which may be parchment or other paper, or, of

other-suitable sheet material selected forpthe. purposes of the invention.

The numeral 10 is usedto designate the main body portion of. said blank. This particular than any of the remaining sections of the casing blank. Section 10 and the adjacent portion forming the inside of the finished sachet are separated by a fold in the assembled device (represented inFigure 1 by a dotted line all). I marked12,and one face of section 10 forms the exposed back portion of such sachet.

Appended to section 10 is an extension 13 which comprises, in the assembled device, one layer or lamination of an envelope or pocket formed in con unction with the material at the other end of the blank.

Depending-from the opposite side of the blank and appended to section'12 and separated therefrom by an incision 1a is suchporinvention hereinafter Such inside portion is section of the body is of greater area i open end.

tion of the blank as is employed for forming the front of a pocket to receive a pad, such pocket forming section including a projecting windowed section and a section 15 which is generally rectangular and which forms the back of such pocket. When assembled, these sections are separated by a fold on the dotted line 16.

Intermediate sections 12 and 15 andscpj-f rated therefrom-by folds represented dotted lines 19 and 20, are lateral extensions 21. 1

To form the pocket, designated as a whole 22, the SEC-b10111? is folded forwardly on the fold line 11 and over the part identified by the numeral 1() after "which the ends '21 are folded upon the lines 19 and 20 to lap over andupon the back of section 13. Ei'ids 21- are adhesively secured to section 13, and then member 15 is'folded on line 16 and adhesively applied 'overends 21 and the remaining exposed section of member 13.

Thus the pocket 22 isiformed, there being an'opening 18 in the one layer front17 of said: pocket, and'a laminated back: compris ing sections 13,21and 15. The manner of folding the blank shown in Figure lwhere by to obtain pocket 22 is best illustrated in Figure 2. This assembly is. made only with the foil sheet hereinafter described in its properrelation to the casing sections. I

I eretofore it has. been usual to disposethe window 18 centrallv ofsection 17. For recurls, and other special undertakings and conditions, the 'WH'lClOW may be differently disposed as is herein shown. -The resulting structureplaces the pad so. that one edge is wholly free from covering byenvelope material. Such a "pocket is. said to have an This end may have a wide; or narrower no. stripcovering whatever, and-likewise. opening 18.niay be so formed in section 17 as to. prox'ide a narrow or wide band across the closed end of the pocket. The inventi-on relates particularly to a pocket opening, itsiproportions, and the relation the open ng. bears in position. to section 17.

Figure 3 illustrates a sheet of foil material 30having any extension portion 31, these two sections being. integral. For convenience of description, an imaginary divisional line 32, in dots, is shown. The portion 30 corresponds witli section 10 of the casing blank and in the assembled mticle CXtQlldS approximately-to the right-hand edge thereof as shown in Figure 1', but does not extend quite tothe left-hand edge thereof. 1

- metal surface, is uppermost.

Normally the foil reaches, to approxi mately one half inch from the left-hand edge of said section 10. It is not desirable to-have metal or metallic foil come into direct contact with the human scalp, hence thereis a small amount of clearance at the left-hand endof section 10 and overwhich the foil sheet does not extend.

Thetei which is. mrleyed m y plain foil or it may be abacke'd "foil. When backed foil is used, it may have a paper" backing. Preferably a backing is employed, for thisd'nninlshes the amount of metal required because thinner metal may. 'e used andit reduces the danger of damage to th foil sheet without disturbing the other char acter. .tics which make foil desirable for use in hair sachets.

* Inassembling the device, the foil extension 31 is inserted into pocket .22. Usually the section 31 is adapted to completelylill the pocket 22 whether the opening 18 is largeor small and irrespective of itsposition upon section 17. ll hen a hacked foil is used the When there is a backing upon the foil, such backing will come directly in contact with the inner face of portion 10 of the casing, and the backing on section 31 of the foilwill come into contact with theinner faceof portion 18 of the pocket... When so inserted and disposed, the casing is assembled as previously directed. I

Reference will now be had to :Figure 4.

This shows a pad of absorbentinaterial upon :1

which a solution used.for softening and/or curling the. hair 15 disposed. Such solution may be of any of the. usual ingredients now employed orany which may be discovered in the future' The pad generally comprises a highly absorbent material like felt enclosed within a harder material like. that employed for bandages or surgical gauze. VlFhilethe core or interior portion of the. padis generally a section of softfelt, any other absorbent materialmay be employed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The entire pad is designated 40, and it is adapted to be inserted into and is-inserted into pocket 22 in assembling: the complete device, the back of the. pad 40 resting upon the front surface of the'section 32 of the. foil sheet. Thefront portionof such pad 10 is exposed through the window18, somuch of the surface of pad 40being. exposed as is de- Figure. 5, is employed. There may be slits might otherwise accumulate in the corners of the envelope 22, such openings being designated by the ordinal23.

Preliminary to use, the pad 4( may be charged in any of the .oonventional'manners;

It may be dipped into a solution which is to be used thereon, or such solution may be made to impregnate the pad by the use of a pipette, a measuring device, or anyother selectedrin strumentality whereby such solution is trans ferred from a container to the'pad 40. As it is now recognized that a definite quantity of a solution of any fixed characteristic should be employed for each curl, it is quite usual to pour a measured quantity of the selected solution upon a pad 40.

- In the finished sachet, when in flat form, thereis exposed a section of foil 30 several inches in breadth and approximately one inch in length and having the casing at the back side only thereof. This'right-hand end of the sachet, Figure 5, is twisted or crimped about or beyond said rod, there being sufficient body in the sheet of, foil to insure that such sachet, when so crimped, will permanently be held about the lock of. curled hair until the proper time for its removal after the heat of the hair curling machine has been applied thereto. Y

The sachet, after the pad 40 therein has been moistened, is wrapped about alock of hair which is twisted upon a suitable curling rod or iron. That part of the sachet comprising two thicknesses of paper withoutan intermediate foil section is disposed adjacent to the scalp. The pad portion 40, of course, is the first portion to be wrapped about the -"hair" \Vhen the entire sachet is wrapped around the curled lock ofhair upon the curling rod or iron about which the hair is twisted, the hair and iron are covered.

Such a sachet as is here illustratedprovides an impervious section through which the moisture from the pad 40, even Whenconverted into steam, cannot readily escape to the outside atmosphere. It thus insures the full benefit of the moisture contained in the pad for steaming and curling the hair and the whole effect of the chemical ingredients employed thereon for the treatment of softening of the hair. i I

As presented, the device comprises three sections, each adapted to be produced sepa rately in a machine, there being a relatively simple assembly therebetween. The position of opening 18 in section 17 does not afiect such assembly or the characteristics of any part of the device; One fastening number is all that is required to maintain the three parts in their assembled relation, thus, the cost of production and of assembly is very low. 1
